They have $40 million in available cap space even if they DON'T extend Kupp (and I'm betting they will to drop that cap number from his present $29 million).
Noteboom is also hitting FA and at 30 years old, he has less long-term value for them. He's the guy they'd be more likely to let walk but they won't lose BOTH those guys.
If anything I could see them looking to move on from Havenstein to free up a little space to bring Noteboom back at one OT spot with Jackson signing long-term for the other.
They just don't have many expensive players, very little in the way of dead money and no real pressing re-sign candidates given that they re-set a lot of their defensive talent this last off-season.
They'll bring Jackson back.

I mean agents aren't stupid and if they get wind that multiple teams are interested and willing to pay why would he sign until after he meets with other teams? If you think 4/$60M will get him why wouldn't Jackson and his agent test the waters OR make the Rams tag him at about $25M? If the Rams are only paying 4/$60M no way they tag him at $25M. Then at that point how could you not want to be a Chief and protecting Mahomes?
